Firefox Portable

After the fourth time this has happened, I have finally made an account to ask about this:
When I update FireFox Portable, I lose all bookmarks, themes, etc. I looked around on these pages, and have found that a directory exists with all my old information. I look and can see all my old bookmarks etc., but the browser isn't reading them. How do I tell FireFox portable where to find these bookmarks and how can I avoid this problem in the future?

Hello! I'm using firefox portable from my jumpdrive. It has been working very well so far, but now i tried to use it on my grandfather's laptop and its having some issues. If i open the add-ons, try to download files, or a few other features, i get an error message at the bottom of the screen that says that the XUL.mfl file is corrupted and i should run the chkdisk utility, or something like that. I saw online that deleting the file can solve some issues, so i deleted it. Still i get the error. can anyone help me here? it could really just be the laptop that i'm on.

I think I found 2 useful links:

The first is a Firefox and Thunderbird extension that can protect your profile with a password.I haven't tested it for portability and I think the protection isn't very strong but it may suffice for average stuff.

The second is a Thunderbird extension that lets you brows within Thunderbird. I haven't tested this one either so I don't know what browser it uses.

I downloaded the chickenfoot extension and some of the functions work but I can't get it to input anything into a text box. Even from their examples. Maybe another extension is blocking or maybe something to do with Vista. But I haven't gotten anything from their maillist yet so I thought I would ask here.

I only use firefox portable. Right now I am using 2.0.0.11. I downloaded and installed the firefox paypal plugin, but it was an exe and I am concerned it installed only for the machine I installed it on, not for firefox portable overall, meaning that when I move to my laptop it won't be there. Is there currently anyway to get this plugin to be portable? I did search the forums and found only references to paypal donations not the plugin.

EDIT: The paypal plugin shows in my add/remove programs list in the control panel on my desktop.

I use Portable Firefox from portableapps.com. When I start firefox by calling the portablefirefox.exe, it starts just fine calling up everything from my profile. If firefox is already running, clicking a link in an email or document will open another tab in that instance of firefox and, again, all is well.

If firefox is NOT running, clicking on a link in another document will start up firefox but none of my addons are loaded. The bookmarks are there but none of the extensions. It is as if it had skipped my profile.

Hi, I bought a month ago a 8Gb pendrive that is not fast enough to run FirefoxPortable, so I had to sell it and continue qith my old(but reliable) 2Gb one.

Could anybody tell me a 8Gb pendrive that works well with Firefox for sure?¿?¿

Thank you

I'm running the portable Firefox off a network drive so that I can access it from several PCs in my office. My office computers run XP Pro SP2.

I recently loaded FF 3 beta 3 rev 2, and now Google Reader - my primary RSS reader - is broken. The script(s) for displaying the feeds in the box on the right seems to be loading incorrectly. It looks like it shoves the feed's posts down and off screen. That's a guess based on the fact that the feed posts momentarily show when I resize the FF window, then disappear again.

big thanks for fx3b3 Portable, great work.

merci

Hi,
After portableapps.com made my day by publishing FF3beta3 so fast, I have one question:
Is it possible to run two different firefox instances at once? I would love to switch between FF2 and FF3b3 on the fly to compare them, but when i try to start the second FF, a message appears: "Firefox already running". I know that, but i want to start the other one anyway...
